Wow, Randy, that certainly is jumping to an unproven conclusion. The strobing in the TWILIGHT movie was the specific red flashing that caused the problem, not the 3D technology. ALL movies "strobe," be they 3D or 2D. Frame rate in 3D digital is MUCH faster and if anything, it should be less problematic than even regular 2D movies. 24fps certainly is a strobe. 30fps or 60fps for video or higher rates for computer monitors are pure strobes too, so is all DCinema. Should we post warning signs on every TV and monitor that there is some vague possibility they may cause fits in a very VERY small percentage of the population -- something which hasn't at all been studied or proven?
And Randy, there is no cause and effect showing that you got a headache BECAUSE of the 3D -- it is quite plausable that you just got a headache and would have gotten one no matter what you were doing. Why not attribute it to anything else in the theatre -- the cleaning solutions they used in the rugs, or anything else you encountered in the environment that day. If I attributed my headaches to whatever activity I am doing at the onset of one of one of my migraines, I would wind up thinking EVERYTHING causes headaches. If you got headaches CONSISTANTLY from 3D movies, then you may be on to something and then it would be YOUR responsibility to avoid going to them, but you got a headache in just THAT one and you jump to such a radical conclusion?
quote: Randy Stankey
Thankfully, these things don't happen every day but they happen often enough that almost all of us know that they can happen and several of us have witnessed it happening. We are all, essentially, on notice that it can happen at any time.
Thankfully they don't. And when you say, "often enough," what does that mean? Across the country people are going into catatonic fits from watching 3D movies? Thing is, there will always be a percentage of people getting sick in theatres if you actually tabulated data from every theatre in the country. People get sick randomly anywhere and so there will be people getting sick in theatres. You are making a wild leap attributing that to motion picture technology in general and 3D in particular with no actual evidence of any cause and effect. You say "we are all on notice that (people can get sick] at any time" -- yes, and so....? You are saying what, exactly? Everyone going into a theatre is at risk of stroke, epilepsy, heart attack BECAUSE of the 3D? And they it can be fatal, right? That movies and 3D movies are a national health risk and need to be warned? Really?
